Palmer Cox was a tall, rugged, warm-hearted man who especially loved children. He created characters based on the mythological brownie. He dressed them in costumes of different nationalities and professions and, in children's books and a magazine called St. Nicholas, told of their helpful activities. His brownie character was popular for thirty years, and the first character to be copywrited and licensed to advertise a variety of merchandise including Ivory Soap and the Brownie Camera. |

M.E. Heller is an artist and scholar who has received national acclaim for her handcrafted dolls. Archetypal and literary characters she has portrayed attracted the attention of the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York and led, in 1986, to the creation of a line of dolls based on the Palmer Cox Brownie. In 1999, she provided dolls and artwork to the Internationasl Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House in Rochester for their traveling exhibit in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of the Brownie Camera. Her research into the characters, mythology, and legends of the brownies reaffirmed her belief in the underlying benevolence of Mother Earth, inspiring the author to write stories about the mythological brownies. |

| My old Sylvia Doll sits on bedroom dresser. She's wearing a red bathrobe with an S embrodiered on the pocket. She's full of attitude and the first thing I see when I wake up. Sometimes I ask her advise, and she is only too ready to hand it out. |
